Mohammed Siraj on Friday became an internet sensation across the globe for displaying ‘great humanity’ during India A’s tour match against Australia A. Siraj’s batting partner Jasprit Bumrah, on the hand, has left everyone in splits for choosing to complete his run even when his straight drive had left Australian bowler Cameron Green in agony.

Batting first, India were bowled out for 194 with Bumrah scoring his first-ever first-class fifty. While batting, one of Bumrah’s straight drives hit Green on the head, making him collapse to the ground. Mohammed Siraj, who was batting at the non-striker’s end instinctively dropped his bat and ran towards Green even as Bumrah continued to complete his run.

Ballia (UP) (PTI): Police on Sunday arrested five men accused in the murder of a roadways employee's son after a brief exchange of fire early Sunday, officials said.

Four of the accused – Nitish Yadav, Ashish Yadav, Dilip Yadav and Rahul Verma – sustained bullet injuries in their legs during the encounter in the Ubhaon area and were admitted to a hospital, Additional Superintendent of Police, Dinesh Kumar Shukla, said.

Police received information around 2.45 am that some criminals had gathered near Chainpur to carry out an offence. When a police team reached the spot, they found two four-wheelers and a motorcycle parked there, the ASP said.

"One of the accused alerted the others about the police. When asked to surrender, they opened fire on the police team with the intention to kill. In retaliatory firing, four accused were injured and arrested,” Shukla said.

A fifth accused, Anand Kumar Verma, managed to flee but was later arrested after a cordon operation.

During interrogation, the accused confessed to their involvement in the December 13 murder of Ayush Yadav (25), son of a roadways employee, who was shot in the Belthara Road area under the Ubhaon police station limits, the officer said.

Police had already arrested six accused in the case, while another accused, Rabin Singh, surrendered at the Mau city Kotwali on Saturday, taking the total number of arrests to 12.
